Neo-conservatives promoted war with Iraq, now look toward Iran

Neo-conservatives who successfully
pushed the nation to war with Iraq, a country that never attacked us and
never possessed the Bush Administration’s “weapons of mass
destruction,” are now promoting war with Iran, a country more than three
times the size of Iraq.

The war in Iraq did not go well, defying the neo-conservatives’
prediction that U.S. troops would be welcomed with open arms. That war
had a series of unintended consequences, as wars always do. It left a
regional power vacuum that helped promote the growth of ISIS, helped
increase the chaos in Syria and increased the regional importance of
Iran.

"Conservatives are accustomed to liberals not understanding the zoology of our movement. But the use and abuse of the term 'neoconservative' has exceeded even the high allowance for cliché and ignorance generally afforded to those who write or talk about conservatism from outside the conservative ant farm. In fact, neoconservative has become a Trojan Horse for vast arsenal of ideological attacks and insinuations. For some it means Jewish conservative. For others it means hawk. A few still think it means squishy conservative or ex-liberal. And a few don't even know what the word means, they just think it makes them sound knowledgeable when they use it."
